About Us
Owner, Aesthetician
Sonia Bellini
Twenty years ago, Sonia decided it was time to evolve Bellini's. Realizing that fragrance was another way for people to express their individual beauty, she created an entirely new beauty experience that includes a parfumerie filled with hard-to-find scents from modern fragrance artists. And with that a name change to Bellini’s Skin + Parfumerie. Besides Bellini’s skin treatments and intoxicating fragrances, they also offer artisan candles, luxurious body products, and many other must-haves for both women and men. While many of the brands we carry are exclusive, our attitude isn’t. Within our comfortable, welcoming space, you’ll truly find something for everyone. So come in, say hello, and explore our sensory playground. We can’t wait to help you discover your most beautiful self.
Facial Specialist Aesthetician
Eliza Palamarchuk
Eliza (eh-lee-zah) has been a part of The Bellini's Team since August 2021, and has brought a unique perspective to skincare! Having been born in Ukraine and speaking three languages, she spent years studying to be a pharmacist before discovering her love of esthetics. Her goal, much like our own, is to help people bring out their inner beauty by making them more confident in their skin! After years of waxing clients in Russia, she made her way to the United States, where she graduated from the Aveda Institute of Portland. Soon after, Eliza joined Bellini's! During her Apprenticeship, she has discovered her love of extractions and relaxing facial massages.
Her number one piece of beauty advice? "To properly take care of your beauty, you need to start with your heart and soul, otherwise no cosmetics will make a difference!"
ADVANCED AESTHETICIAN
Jillian Conover
Jillian's journey to Bellini's was a divine encounter. She has lived in Portland for seven years, and fatefully ventured over to Bellini's to join the team. Her goal is to create a safe, healing, relaxing space for clients, and for clients to achieve their best skin goals.
She loves the instant gratification of waxing, and takes pride in having someone fall asleep during a good facial and massage. In her free time, Jillian enjoys cross-stitching, snuggling with her two cats, and attending live music around town.
Jillian's beauty advice is: "Find the things that make YOU feel beautiful and embrace them to the fullest. Having that confidence about yourself then spills over into so many other avenues of life and we all deserve to feel good about ourselves."
Licensed Aesthetician
Maria Arevalo
Maria's professional goals are to continue to grow and expand her knowledge of skin conditions, facial massaging, and lymphatic drainage. She is inspired to learn about the process and science of creating skincare, and someday create her own serum, cleanser, or moisturizer - hopefully all 3!
She loves to perform massages during her facials, and she also enjoys working out, hanging out with her family, going to the beach, and enjoying an iced Americano with a splash of half and half.
Maria’s #1 beauty advice is to make sure you get a good night's rest. Eight hours of sleep gives your skin and body the time it needs to regenerate and restore itself to keep you looking your best!

Baci Bellini
Baci means kisses in Italian, and Bellini’s littlest team member loves giving them! A native of Clarinda, Iowa, Baci made her way to Portland when she was eight weeks old and has never looked back. This spunky cockapoo loves greeting clients, chewing on everything, and playing in the snow. She’s already a pro at commands like “sit” and “stay”, and is currently in training to be a therapy dog. Baci credits her glossy coat to her positive outlook and believes that the more love you give, the more you’ll get it back.
"Greet every day with a bright smile and a waggy tail.”
